Floodline Contact Numbers

Gwenda Thomas AM today urged her constituents in Neath and the surrounding valley areas to take note of the contact number for the Environment Agency’s Floodline.

Following recent heavy rains there are a number of flood warnings in place across Wales, with Environment Agency staff on 24 hour alert continuously monitoring river levels.

Environment Officers on the ground are on stand-by to check flood defences, clear river blockages and install flood barriers where necessary.

Mrs Thomas advised her constituents, ‘ We have all seen the devastation to homes and families that flooding can cause, along with the resulting road blockages and landslides that can result in serious car accidents.’

‘I strongly advise everyone to take note of the Floodline contact details where up-to-date information can be accessed 24hrs a day.’
